Salmon.] § 1. That is, take Horse Shooe-nails, Hob-nails, or the like old Iron; but you need not be confined to the quantity, for you may put in a Pound or two, or more of them as you please your self.

§ 2. I disapprove of the Ivory and red Coral; for being fixt Al••••lies they will destroy the Acid of the Wine which is the principal Instru∣ment for drawing forth the internal Property of the Mars; do but once destroy that, and the Medicament will not be a quarter so good.

§ 3. It is better to be made cold than in any digestion; for a hot digestion will turn the Wine wholly into Vine∣gar, and as it is without be∣ing made Vinegar, it has A∣cid enough to do the work withal: if you do it in a cold digestion, it ought to stand eight Weeks at least; and if eight Months it will be so much the more effectual shaking the Bottle once a day: after the first Month add to the Composition Spirit of Wine lbj. by which after the Body of the Mars has been opened by the former digestion, it will be now acuated more powerfully to extract the Tincture.
